Picturesque Mountain Landscapes

Beas Kund

Beas Kund trek gives students a chance to cross mountains and travel to the source of the Beas River. At the beginning of its course, it splits into numerous streams; some of which are formed by the melting of glaciers. Other small tributaries of the parent stream arise from a small yet spellbinding alpine lake. The trek is full of stunning views of glaciers and snow clad peaks. This summer trek is a perfect choice for beginners because of its short duration and easy trek level.
